Chicago Colors

[rawaction]

Living it Pittsburgh I am constantly annoyed by sports fans here. The one cool thing they do have going is that all their major professional sports teams wear black and yellow. And as I was flipping back and forth between the Bulls and Blackhawks (wearing the same colors) and keeping an eye on the Cubs score, I was thinking that it would be cool if every team in Chicago (sans White Sox who nobody cares about) had the same colors for all their 4 major sports teams. But if so, what color/colors would they wear?

Definitely black and red.

I think blue is a very Chicago color that would need to be involved, but I also think that the Cubs colors on the bears would be awful and the Bears unis on the Blackhawks would look stupid.

 

Black and red probably, even though that is quite dull. Also, the Cubs would look very Cardinals/Reds/Angels/Phillies/Nationals.

It's just so hard to envision any team changing. Black and Red seem to have the upper hand just because you'd effect the least number of teams.

 

If you we're totally going from scratch though I think you'd have to just go with the Chicago flag's colors and play up the Chicago thing. The teams would just need different identities.

I was going to say I'd choose whichever colors the white sox would look most awkward in but they've worn so many hideous uniforms in their history I don't know if its possible that any existing Chicago team colors would look bad in comparison.

I think black and red work best together so I voted for that. However, it's worth noting that I doubt Pittsburgh would be so monochromatic if they had two teams in the same sport like Chicago does with baseball.

they also only have 3 sports, and the Penguins only switched as an homage to the more successful franchises in the city.

On Jan. 30, 1980, the Penguins wore black and gold for the first time. With the Steelers winning the Super Bowl and the Pirates capturing the World Series title in the same year, the struggling Penguins hoped to gain fan support by aligning their colors with the other teams in the “City of Champions.”

The Pirates were good once.

Bears unis on the Blackhawks would look stupid.

 

Closest I could come to Bears colors on a hockey uni. Need to lose the white, obviously.

Why? That the choices are only two colors doesn't make much sense; how many teams actually only use two colors/shades/tones/whatever?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Any good photoshoppers around here that could make everything blue on the Cubs uniforms black?

[apete6]

Baby Blue and Red is the answer--colors of the city flag.

I got someone on reddit to do a photoshop of a red/black Cubs uni. Personally, I think it looks badass.

Prob would want to change the belt color.

I think blue would have to be involved. I'd say black and blue or black, blue and red.

Or even a dark slate
